Be Like You

Sitting on my parents carpet watching that old box TV Right in that second you sparked it It's like you were singing right to me Maybe I'd make some friends They'd for sure like me then, if I looked like you did With my name up in lights it would all be alright So I close my eyes and I say I wanna be like you someday That'd make my problems float away If I had what you had, I'd never be sad I wouldn't ask for anything Yeah, I wanna be like you someday I wanna be like you Now I'm clocking in for the late shift whatever it takes to survive And I watch you walk in with a watch On your wrist that's worth more than my life Then you throw down your card, said, "This one's for the bar" Tell me what it's like to get that far Oh, what is your secret? How's it feel to be treated like a superstar? I wanna be like you someday That'd make my problems float away If I had what you had, I'd never be sad I wouldn't ask for anything Yeah, I wanna be like you someday I wanna be like you I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you I wanna be like, be like Going through an old stack of photos I see one of 8-year-old me She looks so happy her eyes full of dreams if only she could see She got all that she wanted, but lost her in the process A tear falls in that moment as I say I wanna be like you someday That'd make my problems float away If I had what you had, I'd never be sad I wouldn't ask for anything Yeah, I wanna be like you someday I wanna be like you
